Turning the Blank
• Mount the bushings and blanks according to diagram B.
• Thread on the knurled nut and hand tighten to hold all components in place.
• Slide the Tailstock up snugly against the Mandrel shaft, inserting the live center point into the Mandrel dimple. Lock Tailstock.
• Hand tighten the quill adjustment on the tailstock to steady the mandrel. Do not over tighten, it could damage the mandrel shaft.
• When using Mandrel Saver, there is no need for extra spacer bushings or the knurled nut. Slide tailstock directly against bushings and
tighten until blank and bushings are secure.
• Using sharp tools, turn the blank down close to the bushing diameter. Turn the barrel straight or to a profi le of your choice.
• Sand the blank down to be fl ush with the bushings, gradually increasing sandpaper grits.
• Finish the barrel using your choice of polish. Allow Suffi cient time for the polish to cure—refer to polish instructions.
